IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE MY FRIEND

ROLLING STONES

INTRO: STRUM D CHORD SLOWLY

VERSE:

G Em Em7 Em

If you really want to be my friend

C D

Let me live it up like I used to do

G Em Em7 Em

If you really want to understand me

C G D

There's some giving up we got to do

VERSE:

I know everybody wants to be your man

I don't want to tie you up, go ahead, you're free

And I never want to scar you with my brand

We could live it up, just a you and me

VERSE:

If you really want to understand a man

Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free

If you really, really want to be my friend

Give me the look of love, not jealousy

BREAK:

C D

I know you think that life is a thriller

C D

You play the vamp, I play the killer

Am C G D

Now baby, what's the use of fighting?

Am C G Em Em7 Em C D

By the last reel we'll be cryin', cryin', cryin'

VERSE:

If you really want to be my man

Get your nails out of my back

Stop using me

VERSE:

You know I really, really want to be your friend

But just a little faith is all we need

I don't need no dog eat dog world for you and me

Get your nails out, stop bleeding me

BREAK:

You know, people tell me you are a vulture

Say you're a sore in a cancer culture

Ay, but you got a little charm around you

I'll be there when they finally hound you

Hound you, hound you

VERSE:

If you really want to be my friend

And I really want to understand you baby

If you really want to be my friend

If you really want to understand me

I really want to be your man

I want to try to give you a helping hand

VERSE:

I really want to be your friend

I want to push you when you're up

And pull you when you're down

If you really want you to understand me

I'll tell you something, that love can thrive on jealousy

VERSE:

I really want to understand you

I really want to be your man

'Cause understanding is something everybody needs

I really want to be your friend

And I love you, love you, yes, I do

END ON A - G CHORD
